Condé Nast Traveler
"Its location in the Loop, a block from the Board of Trade, screams “business hotel,” but this 610-room Marriott defies that categorization." Full review
Star Service
"Nonetheless, this Marriott is one of the only deluxe-leaning addresses in The Loop, as most of the deluxe hotels cluster near Michigan Avenue, north of the river.

Travel + Leisure
"This high-energy, artsy boutique hotel has it all: spacious, bright rooms with a view; state-of-the- art technology; plush bedding and a spa-inspired bathroom stocked with amenities." Full review
